Charles coopor va, tha Central Ohio Railroad Company. We last week gava a brlofncoount of a dif Acuity between our townsman . Charles Cooper and the Central Ohio Railroad, de rived principally from street rumors. Since thn we havf hsd interview with Mr. C. and havo rend tho Btalemenls of the Zanes-ville papers, relative to the affair, and we are now 'enahli'd to give tho facts fully in regard to tho matter .. In Juno 1854 the firm of C apers & Clark sold the Central road the Locomotive G T. Clark, and in the September following the locomotive Licking, each (or f 8,750. and took notes ol the company at 0, 9, and 11 monlhs, for pay,, four of which wtro discounted in hank, but at maturity wore not paid. The company asked for an extension of on lit of some. GO or 90 days, which was granted, under a solonin promise that tho debt should then be paid. But tho company violaud their agreement tho second time, and tho notes were auairt protested for n-n-ptynenf Their patience being exhausted Messrs. Coopers it Clark instituted suit against the the railroad company, nnd obtained judgments for tho amount of their claim. They levied upon and stopped a trin : cars at Xwark, which made tbe company very indignant,, and they swore vengeance aninst Mr. Cooper lor daring to disturb their properly in ueh a summary manner. Upon the assurance of D V. Deshlor, then octir g President of tho company, that the debt should bo paid, tho train was given up. A few days after this ihj railroad obtained an injunction from Judg Starle Pr0" hibiting C. & G. from levying on the property of tho company, on t''o unjust and swindl tig p'ea that tha bondholders hold all th 3 property of tho company, whether os quired before or alter tho issue of the bonds. This mado (he company mire insulting than ever; but Mr, Cooper determined to persevere nnd do everything in his power to .Ko-curo his debt. lie accordingly levied on lot of iron nbout tho shop, and garnishe d tho bank of Zmesvillo whero somo. $35,000 were deposited fjuito a nico little sum for a corporation that is too poor lo pay its honeit debts. This ciso is now pending in the Licking Common Pleas. ' -; ' Messrs. O. ifc C. showing every disposition to act fairly with ih- company, off;red to taka $500 per month on their claim, until the whol) was satisfied; but his proposition was declined. Rome three weeks nzn Mr. Cooler stopped tho express train at Newark, on an exieu'ion in the hands of sh.niff Tcnny of Licking cnut'tv. The company gave biil for tho delivery ot tho train on the day of salo. On tho 21t of July Mr. Cooper with Shi r iff Underwood slat tod for li -ilair, i i Belmont county, understanding that a cousid.iniblo amount of personal property belonging to the company could be found at thit place. Sher- ill U. stopped at .Newat lc, ami lr. U. went on to Zircsville. Shortly alter leaving Newark a dilTiuulty arose between that Conductor or tho train, (Mr. Wing ) and a drunken mm (a total stranger to Mr. Cooper,) who offered to bay his fare with an uncurrent bill. 1 lie conductor slopped the train to put the man off, when ho pjid his faro- with good money and was permitted to remain in the cars lie however, launched out in a bitter tiraile acainst railroads generally, when an employee ol the company, whom tho conductor had brought in to assist In ij tiHi'g the inunken man, seized him by tho throat, choikod him and struck him on the faco. Mr. C ioper then s: oka out saying. "Xo sjcli work n that hero," but touched no ono. Theraupjn an other employeo of tho cotnpiny, ' Iraight conductor, ran at Mr. Cooper, and raise ly charging that he had called all railroad men a set or d t scoundrels. strucK nun a blow in the faco. His trother bully 'hen ran to his assistance, but soeing that Mr. Cooper was about to act on the 1e Tensive, tho two cowardly scoundro's mado their escape out of t'ie car. Conductor Wing returned shortly after-wards to tho car, when the drunk man struck at him, but Mr. Cooper interfered, and made tha troubli'snno pissengcr ako his seat. For th'g tho conductor thanked Mr. C. nnd expressed regret that he had buei assailed by the bullies of the company. It is proper to add that Mr. Wing acted fairly, honorably and peaceably towards Mr. C.nnl if the company had a few moro such genttomanly ofl!cer3, it woqld bo more to their own inter-est. ' - On Friday mornircr Mr. Cooper took the 5 o'clock train at Zanosvilla. lor Bellair. Sheriff Underwood with Sheriff Anderson of Bel tnont anived there tho day before Soon after stepping off the cars at Uellair, a man aoDroacbcd Mr. Cooner unpercoived, from bo- hind, and struek him a blow above tho right ear, and instantly ran lor a train o( cars. Just eaving for the west, and jumping' aboard, made bis esrajlo. This ruUlin was tho same hired bully that attacked Mr. Conner be- tweon Newark 'nd Zanesville. andihul no doubt been set on his track by his late loving and honorable . employer' At Bellair Mr. Cooper bad the sheriff levy on various articles of personal property belonging to the company, and then prcceedod to the Norton House to remain thora until the 6 o'clock train would stact for tho west. (KrMeanwhile the President of the company Mr. Jewett. having boon summoned by telegraph arrived . at Bellair, taking back bis hired 'bully Brennan, who had twice previously assaulted Mr. Cooper. This fellow at tbe head of a gang of tome twenty other drunken bullies went to the Norton House, and demanded in tho most insolent and in suiting manner that Mr Cooper and Underwood should go - to President Jewett, get down up'n their kn es and beg his pardon, or take the beat flogging tbey ever bad in their lives. Mr. Cooper said: ' Gentlomon you may kill us but as lor asking pardon, that is entirely out o the qaestion." bheriff U, then went to see the l'residert to get him to tajie away the ruffians, but 'bo only rep'.y ne received was that he did not wish to spek to so mem s manasUider9dLfj The crowd remained for Dearly an-.. hour, using all meaner of insulting language, , trt to provuke Mr. Cooper to violence; but tie preserved, bis temper admirab'y and talked so coolly ad deliberately that their coursga like B b Acre began loo oofo out at the end tf their fingers, Tbey demanded that be sb laid give of) a knife tliat be trried with him; but this he said he would do .to no puq bat an officer of the law. One of the party representing that be was loch officer, demanding the knife when -it was given up by Mr. C. It turned out that this lying scoundrel was the conductor on tbe train that brought down Prosidont Jewott. Shortly after Mr. Cooper with 8herifTUn- derwood started towards home, President Jewett and his pet bully Brennen. being on the same train. Upop arriving at Zanes-uillee, Mr. C. stepped off the train, when he was Soon followed bf Brennon and several other railroad bullies. Brennen gave Mr, C a blow on one side of tho head, nnd another bully dealt a blow at the other side. Peeing that he wns tn the miust ot a gang ol assas. sins, Mr Cooper drew a kni e that was placed in his hands on the way up, and mad" at the rascals, when they ran like 'greasi-d lightning.' II be had not alien over a box which stood on tbe platform Mr C. would have made d-ylight go through the bodies of some of the desieradoen. As it was one of tha gang received a ma-k whioh will lollnw him to his crave. It is said that Prksidknt Jewett was a quiet observes OF THIS COWARDLY ASSAULT BY HIS subordinates upon a fsackable and unoffending citizen whose only crime was that he was bndeatouino to collect an honest debt is a fair and lkoal manner. It is proper that wo should add that MrIN Coopor said not a single word that might be considered offensive to any person connected with tho ruilroad. To show their bitter malignity towards Mr" Cooper, tho officers of the Central road ha e caused him to be bound over to appear at the Muskingum court, to answer a charge of having instigated a riot amongst the work men at the railroad machine shop in December last, when there was a strike. This charts is falso as it is foolish, as will bo made to appear when tho trial comes off. It is a mera ruse on tho part of tho railroad to drive Mr. O. of their track Bui it will be ol no avail. Charley ill never give them up until he coIVcts his claim which now amount- to ovor $25,000. Proclamation by the Governor. Ftatb of Ohio, Execctiyk Department, August 29, 1861. To the People of Ohio: In your efforts to aid the General Government in the suppression of the unnatural rebellion now waged ngainst it. you hitve anticipated the wants of thatGov-ernnv-nt, .and .litre p omptly responded to whatever demands it miido upon yoa. As liberal in the expenditure of treasure as in the furnishing of soldiers, the pub'io service has not languished for one day when your resources were competent to m et its requirements. Wi'hout a regiment of troops at the opening of hostiliiies, you have sent upwards of thirty thou and men into the field, armed nnd equipped. By the magnitude of ynur forco you have as sisti d the loyal men of Kentucky in protect ng that S'ate from the domination of rebels. The prese ice of your troops a"d ili victories in which thfy shared in Wes'ern Virginia liavn preserved it fir the Union and secured it ns n barricade against ilfrcatenetl invasion of your own soil, thus maintaining unbroken the peace of a border nearly five hundred miles in extent. and protecting the heart of the republic Irom the immediate havoc ot war. The Federal G ivernrrfnt again call upon you for soldiers. The late disaster at Manassas, serious a it was in many respects to the rebels, has added to their nudadny and insolence, hncouraged by apparent success, they have augmented their forces, and enhanced tho neces-ity for vi ilance nnd power at Washington, in Western Virginia and in Missuiri. Twenlv-nine Regiments of Infantry, together witli a proportionate force of Artillery and Cavalry are now being orgn ized in your State. As tne Executive of he Stat it becomrs my duty to appeal to yru to perfect these organizations as rapidly as possible. I invoke you to give no ear to any countels unfriendly to the prompt ad effective consolidation of th mill nry force whici the ueneral itovern- raent requires to repel the threatened ns saults of tho enemy, and crush the rebel lio". It must be suppressed or the Gov ernment is subverted. Its suppression can only be effected by vigorous measures on tho part of that Government, promptly Ru-ittined by the people, animated by a positive and comprehensive policy. 1 con jure you to give no heed lo any proposition, under whatever sanction it may come, for npgociation or compromise with armed rebellion. The oniy condition upon which negociation can be tolerated is the com pletc surrender of the rebels to the Na. tionnl Government, an ' an unqualified return of their allegiance to its supreme nnthoriiy. With mt that there should Do r o adjustment without it there can De i o peace. ' . It is gratifying to me to bo ablo to as sure you that many of the hardships and privations to which our first levies were suhjeoted, in consequenoe of the sudden ness of the call for them, and the unpre pared condiiioL of the Governments, Fed eral and State, will not be encountered by your troops now being prepared for the field, The amplest arrangements are mde f r the clothing, arming and eqtiipping of our soldiers. iNo regiment wm do sent from its camp until it is provided with everything essential to tha oomfort and anil efficiency of its men. Regular payments, at increased ratjs, and at short intervals, will hereafter be made to all the Federal soldiers; and with allotments and bounties generous provision is proffered for (he support of families. . The promptness of your response to the previous calls of the Government, is its assurance that all it now expects of Ohi, will be immediately realiz d, by the en rollment of volunleer enough to co opleto tho Regimonts being ormed, uV general order will forthwith be issued frim tha office of the Adjutant General defining the conditions of the sjrvioe, the modes of recruiting and the places of rendezvous. " . , - WILLIAM DENNISOiT, : .r.i ,r..i- ! !!, Governor of Ohio. r The New York Post says, within a few Hays we. Bhall have ready and at sen nearly if not qtiile, fonr hundred and fifty armed vessels. . At & meeting of all parties held last Saturday v aek , in ono of the northern c unties some good things were said: Wo give a few points mado by the several spenkers, regretting that our limited space will not enable us to giyo more. Mr. Taylor concluded by saying: The war of traitors is up n us. The matter of cause is now of no consequence. We must stand shoulder to shoulder to protect our rights and otir Government. Il is said here is in 'his community those who sym pathise with the enemies of our country and thus give them aid and comfort. God pity and forgive them. Let them be reasoned with, and if they will not listen to reason then we must trpat them as we do others of mankind, ic War enemies, in peace friends. Mr. Alphonso Hart, as a Democrat, thus alluded to the position of the present Dem ocratic party: We hear the cry of peace, concession, compromise. The sound of the church-going bell, the hum of tho loom, the sturdy strokes o the husbandman, are infinitely more pleasant than the clarion strife of war, but is it a time to pa'oh up a hollow truce, Rfter our brothers hrve been Blain at Manassas, and have the old cancer at work in the body politio. Shall we not spurn and punish the traitors, who in attempting to force upon us party issues, have stolen the name of Democracy and prostitute it to ecession? while the blood of our brothers is not yet drv at Manassas, the man who will talk of compromise, is A FOOL, OR A KNAVE, AND A TRAITOr! In the course of his romarks, O. P. Brown said' Although I am proud to say I have been o re of the most radical anti- slavery men, yet I must say this is not a war for the emancipation of the slaves. With my v;ews of State-rights, I could not take up aims in such a warfare. Mr. Brown concluded m the following patriotic words: There can be no c impromise with reb els with arms in their hands. There can be no peace, must be no peace, until the rebellion is put down, and rebels return to their allegiance to the Government. If this cannot be, it will bo better for me, for you, for humanity, that we give all to the cause, make a des rt of our smiling country, all go with arms in our hand to meet the foe, and if beaten, fall back i inch by inch, ctush every spear of grass, burn every hamlet, and perish in the last ditch, the last man of us, with our faces to the foe! Judge Day spoke of tho position of the Democratic party without mincing matter. He said the Democratic party, with Jewett at ita head, with his sugar coated letter i f explanation and acceptance, seemed to have the head of a man and tho body of a man and th- body of a beast, terminating in tho foul, f limt, snaky folds of seces bion. Alluding to the "cleaning out" of tho Stark County Democrat, tho Judge said he was a law and order man. and while ho regretted this mo lo of suppressing n traitorous oheef, he regretted (ho onuso of it much more. An English Opinion of tho Seoodod States. Frater's London Magazine, in its last issue, has ai ar iclo on our affairs. We make the following extract: If we may trust the reports sent to us, not only by Mr. Russell, but by every ttavcler there if we may accept the pa pers and the books of the South as signs ol what really goes on there a more wretched tyrranny, a more miserable bro. ken-down barbarism, scarcely exists any. where than in the worst Slave States. Per-haps Mexico or Bokhara be even more disagre fable places of permanent res dence hut it is nly these very extreme haunts of savage lawlessness that can eclipse the horrors of a society, where the unbridled insolence of the meanest of idlers sets the constant tone of society, and imposes iron bondage on all thought and fe 1 ng. No doubt many of the planters are gentlemen, with high courage, and high feeling and cultivated minds; and their families, as we on this side of the Atlantic are aware bv experience, are pleasanter and more friendly than the Northerners. But the planters appear to have no more influence for good no more power of directing and elevating tbe mean whites and loafers of the to"ns and tho roanvng vagabonds of or the outlying seltlem -nls, than a fctrav missionary can direct and elevate the pop ulation of St. Giles. -Were tho Southern States to continue in the Union, there is some hope that gradually t is state of things would become better. It may be a feeble chance, but at any rate the Southern mob wouM be kept from its worst excesses. It wou'd be restrained from open insubor dination. Above all, it would be cut off from the African slave trade, the renewal of which will be the first demand of the poor proprietors of the South, if once they are the supreme arbi'ers of a new state. There is a degradation and a waste of great opportunities and resources in the picture which may well touch the noble feelirgs of American statesmen, and may nrve them to try any extremity rather than stiller such a dismal chaos of lawless ness to occupy the soil of America. Arrost of lira. Phillips. . The facts in relation to Mrs. Phillips sre hat she has long ben known tosympatbiz. with the South, and has been instrumanlal in aiding the cause of the rebels.

(Washington letter. (From the New York Herald.) Coining to Close Quarters -Mob Law or Martini Law. We publish elsewhere, extract d from tbe Daily News, a list of the so called "peace newspapers," in the Northern Slates. This is only nnother name, of course, for tbote journals which sympa thize at heart with tho South, and are en deavoring to distuib the action of the gen eral government in putting an end to rebellion. Five of these papers have been recently mobbed, an indignant populace guiting their establishments from top to bottom, in two instances offering violence to the editors and netting an exan pie o destruction wbich, if followed to any great extent, would lead to anarchy. Ye it is right that something should bo done to prevent tbe dissemination of sympathy with treason in the loyal Stales, and the constant propagandism of discontent with the war, in which this large portion of the press is engaged. In the Confeder ate Sta'es, not a voice is raised anywhere in opposition to the insurrection, nor does any one dare to speak, much less write, in hostility lo the nets of the rebel leaders-These latter are rapidly maturing their plans, and the indications are that the principal of their objects is to seize upon the national capi.al, and thence divide llie Northern St tea in sentimo t, and induce an acquiescence in the overthrow of the constitution, through the aid of these very journals, which now pretend to be simply in favor of peace. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that they should no longer bo permitted to divide our councils, and that they should in f.n efficient man ner be prevented from distilling their sub tle poison in the public mind- Mob law we are totally- opposed to. Every good citizen must regard it with nbiiorreno". Under whatever pretext its assistance may be invoked it e tablisbes a precedent for evil, which tends to univer- il disorder, nnd aims a blow at the very basis upon w lich fociety rests. On the the oilier hand, the secession sympathisers of the Northern press do not violate any existing ; tatuto. They cannot be reached under the code, and, in a ccrtai.i measure. they are protected by the constitution itself in the mischief they ' re doing. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the administra tion to proclaim martial law nt once. Just ns it has been done in S'., Loi is and Baltimore, let it be put in force here. It will find an abundant number of subjects to work upon, and its first energies should be directed against our so called "peace' newspapers. Their offices should be closed, ouo. and all. If thev continue their woik of disturbance, the insurrection may be looked for, sooner or later, in the Northern States, which Jeffurscn Davis and his associates have counted on from tho beginning, nnd government will only have itself to blame for having neglected tbe precautions that would have preven led it. The Famous Negro Eoglincnt. To day n negro arrived in our lines, and was I rought to Gen. Mansfitld's office. He is one of the celebrated negro regiment". He fought at Bull Hun, nnd made his escape with a servant of Boau.egnrd, after the battle, and succeeded in reaching Point of Rocks after great privation. He states that a regiment of one thousand slaves were brought from the Cotton States. and the perfection of their dril: led to the organization of two regiments of ne ;roes from Southern Virginit. Before the battle tbey were compelled to drill three hours a day, and for several hours before were put to work in the intrenchments, At night they were penned up in the rear, and a strict guard placed over them. Tbe Virginia negroes were nearly all anxious to escape and would do so when the opportunity occurred. Thoso from the Cotton States, however, were fearful of doing so, having been made to believe tha their lives would be in danger among our troops Thomas Francis Meagher, writing of tbe battle ot ttull Kun, says. Wherever ti e Federal troops had a fair wherever, indeed, they had the slightest opening even-there and then tbey whipped the Confedeate forces, utterly overwhelmed and confounded them. In every instance where tbe Federal infantry came in contact with that of tho seceding States did this occur. In no one instance, not for a second, did it happen that the Federal forces were driven. back by, or received the slightest check from, the Southern infantry. We yielded to their batteries, and despite of every effort and determination wore compelled to do so. Sickness in thc Rebel ('amp Rebel Force i Western Virginia. A letter to th Atlanta Confederacy, from Monterey, Vs., says that of the 4,500 Georgia so diers in that place nnder command of Gen. Jackson, to die daily, usually from typhoid fcver. Yet the Georgians, according t. the writer, have not suffered so muoh fiom sickness as tbe Virginia troops. The same letter states the number ef the rebel troops in Western Yi'gima as 1 8 000, and says tbey ill soon surround General Rosenorans. A new armv nrder. to tunDrees the SOD- press the publio tion of all objectionable news, will be issued, and under its provis ions Gen. Di will ta1 e me asures against tbe secession journals in Baltimore. A Fair British Estitrmta for Onoa o the imerioan Question. . From the Cornhill Magain (or Augttlt. Tho Northerners are entitled to mors sym pjthy than they have received from th most influontiil part of tha English press '1 hoy aro fighting for an object of real Importance. If they were to flgh I at all now It their time, and thoy have received for many years past a sorii s of provocations of tha most exasneratinc kind. To advise brer and high-spirited men to permit or not resist tne lorcible, wrongful destruction of iostlto-tioNS to which thev richtlv attach the bieh-. est value, on tho eround that it is extreinel difficult to maintain them, U what men who . recuKnrze tne claims ot courage ana spirit ought to be loth to do. That the north ha right on Its side there can be doubt; That t has sustained grievous wrongs and iniultj; is equally plain..- Surely U is a question rather for them than for us, whether thert in a reasonable prospect Of redressing those1 wronps by force of arms. A nation. like an ' individual, may easily overrate difficulties. It is by no means clear that the tone ol thai south will be so haughty as it is st present, or that their determination to resist, will ba unanimous after they have felt the weight of the northern army. There is no doubt in each side a superabundance of the very fiercest kind of talk, and of protestations of un-flirrehing constancy: but it by no means foU lows that it would survive the horrors of bat ties and sciges, and the awful prospeot of servile insurrection. At any rate no one oar know whothor it will or not until they try. Iroland would have boon independent long ago, if we had taken the advice of disinterested foreigners about it. In 1857, many writers on tbe continent and in the United) Stitcs, supposed that they had proved in tha most convincing manner that we never could reconquer India. Nothing that is worth " keeping in this world can be kept without an effort; and it is premature to say thai fighting is of no use till it has been carefully tried. We have a. fair right to dwell on all. the difficulties and horrors of the task; but in common ju'itico it must be admitted that tba nonh aro fighting in a good cause, and for a high stake. , ; Glowing English Tributo to the No th In Once a Week ' we find this glowing ', tribute to tbe patriotism and self-sacrifice-of the North: .- , .,, ( Open, manifest, indisputable above eve-, rything, is the noble spirit of the people at large, now that the first burst of euthusU asm would have been over if il had not been genuine, and at the moment when tho whole significance of the war is disclosed. They know now what loss or rnin of fortune roost of them must incur, they have felt something of tbe toil and privation of military service; and the amount of needless, wanton, exasperating slaughter might well sicken the general heart. Yet there is no flinching. Tho President's call for 400 000 men is met ai eagerly as his p ior call for 75,000. When he ask whether they will 'raise 00,000,000 for the national service, they say "O yes,"ae if he asked for 80,000. When the old family tombs of the forefathers aro opened to admit the coffin of some gallant repre sentative of each, the next brother starts off for the ba. tin field, as the "Amen'' is said over the grave. Tho betrothed girl waves her handker"' chief wiih a smile, as he who should have been Tier husband next week marches past for the South, and faints away when he is past the corner.The aged mother paces her room for hours, when she is weary of making lint, and finds her Bible brings the tears too fast. Except n very few cowards, traitors, and sordid trimmers, who irytoraison call for compromise, there seems to bo no defection from this splendor of patriotism. Thii is the broadest, plainest, weightiest, and most brilliant fact of all that sti ikes tho eye. The Memphis Appeal, of the 14th says the Northern Democracy "have our gratitude," but they are laboring in vain. Speaking of the late 'peace' movements in the North, the Appeal says: 'One of the planks of their platform we deem very speculative, so much, indeed, as to render quite worthless, except, perhaps, for purposes oi buncombe. The late Democratio convention, for instance, wbich assembled on tbe 17 tb i at ,a Columbus Ohio, with every evidence of earnestness, recommended that the 'Legislatures of. tbe several States adopt tho proper measures for calling a National Convention for the purpose of settling our present difficulties nd restoring and presorting tbe Union.'Now this may do very well aa a plank in a party platform.where it is known is that everything is pzldieJ . up theoretically for mere tjfect, but further than thli it is a dim lusion and a snare, " all of sound and fury, signifying nothing." It will be better for our friends across the line not to base their opposition to Lincoln's atrocities upon so flimsy a pretext as that tbey interfere "with settling our present difficulties, and restoring and preserving the Union." Lit them fight the inhuman principles of the abolition code with some moro plausible weapon, and abandoa one which their adversaries laugh to scorn, in oonsequeace of its impotence. We fear that if thb triumph of tbe peace party in the North depends upon the contingency ex pressed in this plank, it may as well throw up the sponge at once, and meekly confese defeat without another day's struggle. There be a better prospect of peace to its ashes tba its efforts." CnARAOTinisTio Arecdote or McClel- lan N. P.

Charles coopor va, tha Central Ohio Railroad Company. We last week gava a brlofncoount of a dif Acuity between our townsman . Charles Cooper and the Central Ohio Railroad, de rived principally from street rumors. Since thn we havf hsd interview with Mr. C. and havo rend tho Btalemenls of the Zanes-ville papers, relative to the affair, and we are now 'enahli'd to give tho facts fully in regard to tho matter .. In Juno 1854 the firm of C apers & Clark sold the Central road the Locomotive G T. Clark, and in the September following the locomotive Licking, each (or f 8,750. and took notes ol the company at 0, 9, and 11 monlhs, for pay,, four of which wtro discounted in hank, but at maturity wore not paid. The company asked for an extension of on lit of some. GO or 90 days, which was granted, under a solonin promise that tho debt should then be paid. But tho company violaud their agreement tho second time, and tho notes were auairt protested for n-n-ptynenf Their patience being exhausted Messrs. Coopers it Clark instituted suit against the the railroad company, nnd obtained judgments for tho amount of their claim. They levied upon and stopped a trin : cars at Xwark, which made tbe company very indignant,, and they swore vengeance aninst Mr. Cooper lor daring to disturb their properly in ueh a summary manner. Upon the assurance of D V. Deshlor, then octir g President of tho company, that the debt should bo paid, tho train was given up. A few days after this ihj railroad obtained an injunction from Judg Starle Pr0" hibiting C. & G. from levying on the property of tho company, on t''o unjust and swindl tig p'ea that tha bondholders hold all th 3 property of tho company, whether os quired before or alter tho issue of the bonds. This mado (he company mire insulting than ever; but Mr, Cooper determined to persevere nnd do everything in his power to .Ko-curo his debt. lie accordingly levied on lot of iron nbout tho shop, and garnishe d tho bank of Zmesvillo whero somo. $35,000 were deposited fjuito a nico little sum for a corporation that is too poor lo pay its honeit debts. This ciso is now pending in the Licking Common Pleas. ' -; ' Messrs. O. ifc C. showing every disposition to act fairly with ih- company, off;red to taka $500 per month on their claim, until the whol) was satisfied; but his proposition was declined. Rome three weeks nzn Mr. Cooler stopped tho express train at Newark, on an exieu'ion in the hands of sh.niff Tcnny of Licking cnut'tv. The company gave biil for tho delivery ot tho train on the day of salo. On tho 21t of July Mr. Cooper with Shi r iff Underwood slat tod for li -ilair, i i Belmont county, understanding that a cousid.iniblo amount of personal property belonging to the company could be found at thit place. Sher- ill U. stopped at .Newat lc, ami lr. U. went on to Zircsville. Shortly alter leaving Newark a dilTiuulty arose between that Conductor or tho train, (Mr. Wing ) and a drunken mm (a total stranger to Mr. Cooper,) who offered to bay his fare with an uncurrent bill. 1 lie conductor slopped the train to put the man off, when ho pjid his faro- with good money and was permitted to remain in the cars lie however, launched out in a bitter tiraile acainst railroads generally, when an employee ol the company, whom tho conductor had brought in to assist In ij tiHi'g the inunken man, seized him by tho throat, choikod him and struck him on the faco. Mr. C ioper then s: oka out saying. "Xo sjcli work n that hero," but touched no ono. Theraupjn an other employeo of tho cotnpiny, ' Iraight conductor, ran at Mr. Cooper, and raise ly charging that he had called all railroad men a set or d t scoundrels. strucK nun a blow in the faco. His trother bully 'hen ran to his assistance, but soeing that Mr. Cooper was about to act on the 1e Tensive, tho two cowardly scoundro's mado their escape out of t'ie car. Conductor Wing returned shortly after-wards to tho car, when the drunk man struck at him, but Mr. Cooper interfered, and made tha troubli'snno pissengcr ako his seat. For th'g tho conductor thanked Mr. C. nnd expressed regret that he had buei assailed by the bullies of the company. It is proper to add that Mr. Wing acted fairly, honorably and peaceably towards Mr. C.nnl if the company had a few moro such genttomanly ofl!cer3, it woqld bo more to their own inter-est. ' - On Friday mornircr Mr. Cooper took the 5 o'clock train at Zanosvilla. lor Bellair. Sheriff Underwood with Sheriff Anderson of Bel tnont anived there tho day before Soon after stepping off the cars at Uellair, a man aoDroacbcd Mr. Cooner unpercoived, from bo- hind, and struek him a blow above tho right ear, and instantly ran lor a train o( cars. Just eaving for the west, and jumping' aboard, made bis esrajlo. This ruUlin was tho same hired bully that attacked Mr. Conner be- tweon Newark 'nd Zanesville. andihul no doubt been set on his track by his late loving and honorable . employer' At Bellair Mr. Cooper bad the sheriff levy on various articles of personal property belonging to the company, and then prcceedod to the Norton House to remain thora until the 6 o'clock train would stact for tho west. (KrMeanwhile the President of the company Mr. Jewett. having boon summoned by telegraph arrived . at Bellair, taking back bis hired 'bully Brennan, who had twice previously assaulted Mr. Cooper. This fellow at tbe head of a gang of tome twenty other drunken bullies went to the Norton House, and demanded in tho most insolent and in suiting manner that Mr Cooper and Underwood should go - to President Jewett, get down up'n their kn es and beg his pardon, or take the beat flogging tbey ever bad in their lives. Mr. Cooper said: ' Gentlomon you may kill us but as lor asking pardon, that is entirely out o the qaestion." bheriff U, then went to see the l'residert to get him to tajie away the ruffians, but 'bo only rep'.y ne received was that he did not wish to spek to so mem s manasUider9dLfj The crowd remained for Dearly an-.. hour, using all meaner of insulting language, , trt to provuke Mr. Cooper to violence; but tie preserved, bis temper admirab'y and talked so coolly ad deliberately that their coursga like B b Acre began loo oofo out at the end tf their fingers, Tbey demanded that be sb laid give of) a knife tliat be trried with him; but this he said he would do .to no puq bat an officer of the law.

It is proper that wo should add that MrIN Coopor said not a single word that might be considered offensive to any person connected with tho ruilroad. To show their bitter malignity towards Mr" Cooper, tho officers of the Central road ha e caused him to be bound over to appear at the Muskingum court, to answer a charge of having instigated a riot amongst the work men at the railroad machine shop in December last, when there was a strike.

To the People of Ohio: In your efforts to aid the General Government in the suppression of the unnatural rebellion now waged ngainst it. you hitve anticipated the wants of thatGov-ernnv-nt, .and .litre p omptly responded to whatever demands it miido upon yoa. As liberal in the expenditure of treasure as in the furnishing of soldiers, the pub'io service has not languished for one day when your resources were competent to m et its requirements. Wi'hout a regiment of troops at the opening of hostiliiies, you have sent upwards of thirty thou and men into the field, armed nnd equipped. By the magnitude of ynur forco you have as sisti d the loyal men of Kentucky in protect ng that S'ate from the domination of rebels. The prese ice of your troops a"d ili victories in which thfy shared in Wes'ern Virginia liavn preserved it fir the Union and secured it ns n barricade against ilfrcatenetl invasion of your own soil, thus maintaining unbroken the peace of a border nearly five hundred miles in extent. and protecting the heart of the republic Irom the immediate havoc ot war. The Federal G ivernrrfnt again call upon you for soldiers. The late disaster at Manassas, serious a it was in many respects to the rebels, has added to their nudadny and insolence, hncouraged by apparent success, they have augmented their forces, and enhanced tho neces-ity for vi ilance nnd power at Washington, in Western Virginia and in Missuiri. Twenlv-nine Regiments of Infantry, together witli a proportionate force of Artillery and Cavalry are now being orgn ized in your State. As tne Executive of he Stat it becomrs my duty to appeal to yru to perfect these organizations as rapidly as possible. I invoke you to give no ear to any countels unfriendly to the prompt ad effective consolidation of th mill nry force whici the ueneral itovern- raent requires to repel the threatened ns saults of tho enemy, and crush the rebel lio". It must be suppressed or the Gov ernment is subverted. Its suppression can only be effected by vigorous measures on tho part of that Government, promptly Ru-ittined by the people, animated by a positive and comprehensive policy. 1 con jure you to give no heed lo any proposition, under whatever sanction it may come, for npgociation or compromise with armed rebellion. The oniy condition upon which negociation can be tolerated is the com pletc surrender of the rebels to the Na. tionnl Government, an ' an unqualified return of their allegiance to its supreme nnthoriiy. With mt that there should Do r o adjustment without it there can De i o peace. ' . It is gratifying to me to bo ablo to as sure you that many of the hardships and privations to which our first levies were suhjeoted, in consequenoe of the sudden ness of the call for them, and the unpre pared condiiioL of the Governments, Fed eral and State, will not be encountered by your troops now being prepared for the field, The amplest arrangements are mde f r the clothing, arming and eqtiipping of our soldiers. iNo regiment wm do sent from its camp until it is provided with everything essential to tha oomfort and anil efficiency of its men. Regular payments, at increased ratjs, and at short intervals, will hereafter be made to all the Federal soldiers; and with allotments and bounties generous provision is proffered for (he support of families. . The promptness of your response to the previous calls of the Government, is its assurance that all it now expects of Ohi, will be immediately realiz d, by the en rollment of volunleer enough to co opleto tho Regimonts being ormed, uV general order will forthwith be issued frim tha office of the Adjutant General defining the conditions of the sjrvioe, the modes of recruiting and the places of rendezvous. " . , - WILLIAM DENNISOiT, : .r.i ,r..i- ! !!, Governor of Ohio. r The New York Post says, within a few Hays we. Bhall have ready and at sen nearly if not qtiile, fonr hundred and fifty armed vessels. . At & meeting of all parties held last Saturday v aek , in ono of the northern c unties some good things were said: Wo give a few points mado by the several spenkers, regretting that our limited space will not enable us to giyo more. Mr. Taylor concluded by saying: The war of traitors is up n us. The matter of cause is now of no consequence. We must stand shoulder to shoulder to protect our rights and otir Government. Il is said here is in 'his community those who sym pathise with the enemies of our country and thus give them aid and comfort. God pity and forgive them. Let them be reasoned with, and if they will not listen to reason then we must trpat them as we do others of mankind, ic War enemies, in peace friends. Mr. Alphonso Hart, as a Democrat, thus alluded to the position of the present Dem ocratic party: We hear the cry of peace, concession, compromise. The sound of the church-going bell, the hum of tho loom, the sturdy strokes o the husbandman, are infinitely more pleasant than the clarion strife of war, but is it a time to pa'oh up a hollow truce, Rfter our brothers hrve been Blain at Manassas, and have the old cancer at work in the body politio. Shall we not spurn and punish the traitors, who in attempting to force upon us party issues, have stolen the name of Democracy and prostitute it to ecession? while the blood of our brothers is not yet drv at Manassas, the man who will talk of compromise, is A FOOL, OR A KNAVE, AND A TRAITOr! In the course of his romarks, O. P. Brown said' Although I am proud to say I have been o re of the most radical anti- slavery men, yet I must say this is not a war for the emancipation of the slaves. With my v;ews of State-rights, I could not take up aims in such a warfare. Mr. Brown concluded m the following patriotic words: There can be no c impromise with reb els with arms in their hands. There can be no peace, must be no peace, until the rebellion is put down, and rebels return to their allegiance to the Government. If this cannot be, it will bo better for me, for you, for humanity, that we give all to the cause, make a des rt of our smiling country, all go with arms in our hand to meet the foe, and if beaten, fall back i inch by inch, ctush every spear of grass, burn every hamlet, and perish in the last ditch, the last man of us, with our faces to the foe! Judge Day spoke of tho position of the Democratic party without mincing matter. He said the Democratic party, with Jewett at ita head, with his sugar coated letter i f explanation and acceptance, seemed to have the head of a man and tho body of a man and th- body of a beast, terminating in tho foul, f limt, snaky folds of seces bion. Alluding to the "cleaning out" of tho Stark County Democrat, tho Judge said he was a law and order man. and while ho regretted this mo lo of suppressing n traitorous oheef, he regretted (ho onuso of it much more. An English Opinion of tho Seoodod States. Frater's London Magazine, in its last issue, has ai ar iclo on our affairs. We make the following extract: If we may trust the reports sent to us, not only by Mr. Russell, but by every ttavcler there if we may accept the pa pers and the books of the South as signs ol what really goes on there a more wretched tyrranny, a more miserable bro. ken-down barbarism, scarcely exists any. where than in the worst Slave States. Per-haps Mexico or Bokhara be even more disagre fable places of permanent res dence hut it is nly these very extreme haunts of savage lawlessness that can eclipse the horrors of a society, where the unbridled insolence of the meanest of idlers sets the constant tone of society, and imposes iron bondage on all thought and fe 1 ng. No doubt many of the planters are gentlemen, with high courage, and high feeling and cultivated minds; and their families, as we on this side of the Atlantic are aware bv experience, are pleasanter and more friendly than the Northerners. But the planters appear to have no more influence for good no more power of directing and elevating tbe mean whites and loafers of the to"ns and tho roanvng vagabonds of or the outlying seltlem -nls, than a fctrav missionary can direct and elevate the pop ulation of St. Giles. -Were tho Southern States to continue in the Union, there is some hope that gradually t is state of things would become better. It may be a feeble chance, but at any rate the Southern mob wouM be kept from its worst excesses. It wou'd be restrained from open insubor dination. Above all, it would be cut off from the African slave trade, the renewal of which will be the first demand of the poor proprietors of the South, if once they are the supreme arbi'ers of a new state. There is a degradation and a waste of great opportunities and resources in the picture which may well touch the noble feelirgs of American statesmen, and may nrve them to try any extremity rather than stiller such a dismal chaos of lawless ness to occupy the soil of America. Arrost of lira. Phillips. . The facts in relation to Mrs. Phillips sre hat she has long ben known tosympatbiz. with the South, and has been instrumanlal in aiding the cause of the rebels. That her house, which hi been a kind of Southern mail post dice, mar be searched, she has been temporarily deprived of her liberty by being placed under a guard on ber own premloes. I in termed you some line ago that her daughters, on hoaring of the fall of Ellsworth, claped their hands, and the mother joined thein In demonstrations of joy, in the presence f the friends of the Uoion. (Washington letter. (From the New York Herald.) Coining to Close Quarters -Mob Law or Martini Law. We publish elsewhere, extract d from tbe Daily News, a list of the so called "peace newspapers," in the Northern Slates. This is only nnother name, of course, for tbote journals which sympa thize at heart with tho South, and are en deavoring to distuib the action of the gen eral government in putting an end to rebellion. Five of these papers have been recently mobbed, an indignant populace guiting their establishments from top to bottom, in two instances offering violence to the editors and netting an exan pie o destruction wbich, if followed to any great extent, would lead to anarchy. Ye it is right that something should bo done to prevent tbe dissemination of sympathy with treason in the loyal Stales, and the constant propagandism of discontent with the war, in which this large portion of the press is engaged. In the Confeder ate Sta'es, not a voice is raised anywhere in opposition to the insurrection, nor does any one dare to speak, much less write, in hostility lo the nets of the rebel leaders-These latter are rapidly maturing their plans, and the indications are that the principal of their objects is to seize upon the national capi.al, and thence divide llie Northern St tea in sentimo t, and induce an acquiescence in the overthrow of the constitution, through the aid of these very journals, which now pretend to be simply in favor of peace. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that they should no longer bo permitted to divide our councils, and that they should in f.n efficient man ner be prevented from distilling their sub tle poison in the public mind- Mob law we are totally- opposed to. Every good citizen must regard it with nbiiorreno". Under whatever pretext its assistance may be invoked it e tablisbes a precedent for evil, which tends to univer- il disorder, nnd aims a blow at the very basis upon w lich fociety rests. On the the oilier hand, the secession sympathisers of the Northern press do not violate any existing ; tatuto. They cannot be reached under the code, and, in a ccrtai.i measure. they are protected by the constitution itself in the mischief they ' re doing. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the administra tion to proclaim martial law nt once. Just ns it has been done in S'., Loi is and Baltimore, let it be put in force here. It will find an abundant number of subjects to work upon, and its first energies should be directed against our so called "peace' newspapers. Their offices should be closed, ouo. and all. If thev continue their woik of disturbance, the insurrection may be looked for, sooner or later, in the Northern States, which Jeffurscn Davis and his associates have counted on from tho beginning, nnd government will only have itself to blame for having neglected tbe precautions that would have preven led it. The Famous Negro Eoglincnt. To day n negro arrived in our lines, and was I rought to Gen. Mansfitld's office. He is one of the celebrated negro regiment". He fought at Bull Hun, nnd made his escape with a servant of Boau.egnrd, after the battle, and succeeded in reaching Point of Rocks after great privation. He states that a regiment of one thousand slaves were brought from the Cotton States. and the perfection of their dril: led to the organization of two regiments of ne ;roes from Southern Virginit. Before the battle tbey were compelled to drill three hours a day, and for several hours before were put to work in the intrenchments, At night they were penned up in the rear, and a strict guard placed over them. Tbe Virginia negroes were nearly all anxious to escape and would do so when the opportunity occurred. Thoso from the Cotton States, however, were fearful of doing so, having been made to believe tha their lives would be in danger among our troops Thomas Francis Meagher, writing of tbe battle ot ttull Kun, says. Wherever ti e Federal troops had a fair wherever, indeed, they had the slightest opening even-there and then tbey whipped the Confedeate forces, utterly overwhelmed and confounded them. In every instance where tbe Federal infantry came in contact with that of tho seceding States did this occur. In no one instance, not for a second, did it happen that the Federal forces were driven. back by, or received the slightest check from, the Southern infantry. We yielded to their batteries, and despite of every effort and determination wore compelled to do so. Sickness in thc Rebel ('amp Rebel Force i Western Virginia. A letter to th Atlanta Confederacy, from Monterey, Vs., says that of the 4,500 Georgia so diers in that place nnder command of Gen. Jackson, to die daily, usually from typhoid fcver. Yet the Georgians, according t. the writer, have not suffered so muoh fiom sickness as tbe Virginia troops. The same letter states the number ef the rebel troops in Western Yi'gima as 1 8 000, and says tbey ill soon surround General Rosenorans. A new armv nrder. to tunDrees the SOD- press the publio tion of all objectionable news, will be issued, and under its provis ions Gen. Di will ta1 e me asures against tbe secession journals in Baltimore. A Fair British Estitrmta for Onoa o the imerioan Question. . From the Cornhill Magain (or Augttlt. Tho Northerners are entitled to mors sym pjthy than they have received from th most influontiil part of tha English press '1 hoy aro fighting for an object of real Importance. If they were to flgh I at all now It their time, and thoy have received for many years past a sorii s of provocations of tha most exasneratinc kind.

A nation. like an ' individual, may easily overrate difficulties. It is by no means clear that the tone ol thai south will be so haughty as it is st present, or that their determination to resist, will ba unanimous after they have felt the weight of the northern army. There is no doubt in each side a superabundance of the very fiercest kind of talk, and of protestations of un-flirrehing constancy: but it by no means foU lows that it would survive the horrors of bat ties and sciges, and the awful prospeot of servile insurrection. At any rate no one oar know whothor it will or not until they try. Iroland would have boon independent long ago, if we had taken the advice of disinterested foreigners about it. In 1857, many writers on tbe continent and in the United) Stitcs, supposed that they had proved in tha most convincing manner that we never could reconquer India. Nothing that is worth " keeping in this world can be kept without an effort; and it is premature to say thai fighting is of no use till it has been carefully tried. We have a. fair right to dwell on all. the difficulties and horrors of the task; but in common ju'itico it must be admitted that tba nonh aro fighting in a good cause, and for a high stake. , ; Glowing English Tributo to the No th In Once a Week ' we find this glowing ', tribute to tbe patriotism and self-sacrifice-of the North: .- , .,, ( Open, manifest, indisputable above eve-, rything, is the noble spirit of the people at large, now that the first burst of euthusU asm would have been over if il had not been genuine, and at the moment when tho whole significance of the war is disclosed. They know now what loss or rnin of fortune roost of them must incur, they have felt something of tbe toil and privation of military service; and the amount of needless, wanton, exasperating slaughter might well sicken the general heart. Yet there is no flinching. Tho President's call for 400 000 men is met ai eagerly as his p ior call for 75,000. When he ask whether they will 'raise 00,000,000 for the national service, they say "O yes,"ae if he asked for 80,000. When the old family tombs of the forefathers aro opened to admit the coffin of some gallant repre sentative of each, the next brother starts off for the ba. tin field, as the "Amen'' is said over the grave. Tho betrothed girl waves her handker"' chief wiih a smile, as he who should have been Tier husband next week marches past for the South, and faints away when he is past the corner.The aged mother paces her room for hours, when she is weary of making lint, and finds her Bible brings the tears too fast. Except n very few cowards, traitors, and sordid trimmers, who irytoraison call for compromise, there seems to bo no defection from this splendor of patriotism. Thii is the broadest, plainest, weightiest, and most brilliant fact of all that sti ikes tho eye. The Memphis Appeal, of the 14th says the Northern Democracy "have our gratitude," but they are laboring in vain. Speaking of the late 'peace' movements in the North, the Appeal says: 'One of the planks of their platform we deem very speculative, so much, indeed, as to render quite worthless, except, perhaps, for purposes oi buncombe. The late Democratio convention, for instance, wbich assembled on tbe 17 tb i at ,a Columbus Ohio, with every evidence of earnestness, recommended that the 'Legislatures of. tbe several States adopt tho proper measures for calling a National Convention for the purpose of settling our present difficulties nd restoring and presorting tbe Union.'Now this may do very well aa a plank in a party platform.where it is known is that everything is pzldieJ . up theoretically for mere tjfect, but further than thli it is a dim lusion and a snare, " all of sound and fury, signifying nothing." It will be better for our friends across the line not to base their opposition to Lincoln's atrocities upon so flimsy a pretext as that tbey interfere "with settling our present difficulties, and restoring and preserving the Union." Lit them fight the inhuman principles of the abolition code with some moro plausible weapon, and abandoa one which their adversaries laugh to scorn, in oonsequeace of its impotence. We fear that if thb triumph of tbe peace party in the North depends upon the contingency ex pressed in this plank, it may as well throw up the sponge at once, and meekly confese defeat without another day's struggle. There be a better prospect of peace to its ashes tba its efforts." CnARAOTinisTio Arecdote or McClel- lan N. P.
